10/22! Just bought one about a week ago. Took it to the range and man what a blast! I havnt shot a .22 in years and I gotta say I really was missing out. CCI Mini-mag in HP, not one FTF or FTE at all! Only previous .22 Iv shot was the Marlin 60 (tube fed) and it was ok, but I love the amount of aftermarket magazines they have for the 10/22. Not that there is anything wrong with the 10-rnd drum it comes with!

And I guess I'll be the first to say, go with the 597, if you want to stay relatively bone stock, and shoot well. all i've added to mine is a scope base with an 8-16 x50 scope and a bipod. but then all i've had to compare it to was myfriend's 10/22 that i don't know how or if it was cared for

Now you can start customizing it. There is a whole industry dedicated to things to put in and on your 10/22. Custom stocks, barrels, muzzle brakes, extended magazine releases and high capacity magazines just to name a few.

Thanks everyone for the suggestion, opinions, etc. I did pick up a Ruger 10/22. The BF has one as well. Of course, mine's better!

Did you get the Walnut stock? How do you plan on modding it if at all? I ask becuase Im still new to the Ruger 10/22 and I want to learn as much about them as I can. However I was made a belive after my first trip to the range with it!
